Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable an investigation over a wide range with a little persons by providing a receiving means for displaying the contents of teletext, operating means for inputting information such as answers, and transmitting means for transmitting the answer information or the like through a telephone line to an investigating person. CONSTITUTION: An investigating person 1 sends medical investigation contents through a telephone line network 2 to a broadcasting station 3 and broadcasts them as teletext. This broadcasting is received by a teletext reception part 5 of terminal equipment 4 and its contents are displayed on a display part 6. Corresponding to the question of medical investigation displayed on the display part 6, an answering person 8 inputs its answer to the terminal equipment 4 and answers from a transmission part 7 through the telephone line network 2 to the investigating person 1. Thus, since the question contents of medical investigation are broadcasted by teletext and the answering person 8 receives this question at the terminal equipment 4 and transmits its answer through the telephone line network 2 to the investigating person 1, the investigation from many persons over the wide range is enabled. Besides, the answering person can check his health.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rationalized medical research system capable of widely conducting medical research and health check.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional medical survey, a researcher visits an individual's home to be interviewed and makes an interview, or makes an individual call using a telephone. This method has a problem that the survey requires a long time, the survey area is limited due to restrictions such as telephone call charges, and further, the survey requires manpower and costs.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a medical research system capable of conducting a wide range of research in a short period with a small number of people.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A teletext receiving means for receiving a teletext and displaying the contents thereof, an operating means for inputting information such as an answer and a terminal control input, and a telephone line for inputting answer information. It is equipped with a terminal consisting of transmission means for transmitting to the surveyor, receives the survey content transmitted by teletext from the surveyor, and inputs the answer to it by operating means,
Send it to the investigator via a telephone line.

The terminal is provided with a control unit and a non-volatile memory, and personal information stored in advance in the non-volatile memory is transmitted together with the answer.

The terminal comprises a control unit and an answer analysis unit,
Analyze the answer contents and calculate and display the health check result.

[0007] The terminal device receives and displays the survey results such as the distribution of diseases in each region broadcast via teletext.

[0008]

[Function] A teletext receiving means for receiving a teletext and displaying its contents, an operating means for inputting information such as an answer and a terminal control input, and transmitting the entered answer information etc. to a researcher through a telephone line. It is equipped with a terminal consisting of transmission means, receives the survey content transmitted by teletext, inputs the answer to it by operating means, and transmits it to the surveyor via the telephone line It enables a wide range of medical research.

The terminal is equipped with a control unit and a non-volatile memory, and it is necessary to input a fixed form item each time by transmitting personal information stored in advance in the non-volatile memory together with the answer. It will also be possible for the investigator to respond to the survey target.

The terminal is equipped with a control unit and an answer analysis unit,
By analyzing the contents of the answer and calculating and displaying the health check result, the respondent can check the health condition by simply answering the survey.

Respondents can refer to the health management by making the teletext receiving means obtain the results of the survey such as the distribution of diseases in each region broadcast by teletext by the surveyor.

[0012]

The medical examination system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of a medical research system according to the present invention.
The researcher 1 sends the medical research content to the broadcasting station 3 via the telephone network 2 and broadcasts it as a teletext. The teletext receiving unit 5 of the terminal 4 receives this and displays the content on the display unit 6. The respondent 8 responds to the medical survey question displayed on the display unit 6 by inputting the answer to the terminal 4, and then the transmitting unit 7
Answer the surveyor 1 through the telephone network 2.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a terminal of an embodiment of the medical research system according to the present invention. The terminal 4 is provided with the character receiving unit 5 and the display unit 6 as described above, and displays the medical survey content transmitted by the character broadcast. Respondents, seeing this, enter the answer information for the survey contents from the operation unit 12 including a keyboard or the like. The entered answer information is combined with the personal information such as the address and telephone number of the respondent stored in advance in the non-volatile memory 14 by the control unit 11 in accordance with the procedure of the transmission procedure unit 13, and the mode 15 and line control. It is sent to the telephone line S1 via the device 16. A series of answers is stored in the RAM (random access memory) 17 by the control unit 11, and when the answers are completed,
The control unit 11 analyzes the response contents according to the procedure of the response analysis unit 18, checks the health condition of the respondent, and displays the result on the display unit 6. The surveyor 1 collects and analyzes the response results, sends the survey results such as the distribution of diseases in each region to the broadcasting station 3 through the telephone network 2, and the broadcasting station 3 transmits it as a teletext so that the respondent 8 can write the text. The broadcast receiving unit 4 can receive this and display it on the display unit 6 for viewing.

[0014]

As described above, by broadcasting the content of a medical survey question by teletext, the respondent receives the question at a terminal and transmits the answer to the surveyor through a telephone line, thereby shortening the time period. A large number of people can be surveyed over a wide range. Respondents can also check their health.
